Last week, lead prospect analyst Dan Farnsworth published his excellently in-depth prospect list for the Seattle Mariners. In this companion piece, I look at that same Seattle farm system through the lens of my recently refined KATOH projection system. The Mariners have the 24th-best farm system in baseball according to KATOH.
There’s way more to prospect evaluation than just the stats, so if you haven’t already, I highly recommend you read Dan’s piece in addition to this one. KATOH has no idea how hard a pitcher throws, how good a hitter’s bat speed is, or what a player’s makeup is like. So it’s liable to miss big on players whose tools don’t line up with their performances. However, when 29 Mar 2016 13:09:32 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/katoh_projects_seattle_mariners_prospects/s1_8637_20576728

Yesterday, lead prospect analyst Dan Farnsworth published his excellently in-depth prospect list for the Philadelphia Phillies. In this companion piece, I look at that same Oakland farm system through the lens of my recently refined KATOH projection system. The Phillies have the ninth-best farm system in baseball according to KATOH.

Rather than turning to a Triple-A scrub to take Porcello’s spot in the rotation, the Sox opted to call up too prospect Henry Owens. Owens will take the mound in Yankee stadium tonight for his big league debut.
Owens, 22, has pitched exclusively at Triple-A Pawtucket this year, where he’s put up a 3.16 ERA and 3.68 FIP over 122 innings of work. The 6-foot-6 lefty has struck out 21% of the batters he’s faced, and has walked 11%. Other than Owens’ height, none of the figures cited above sound particularly impressive. Owens’ strikeout rate is hardly better than the International League average of 18.6%, and his walk rate is significantly worse than average. If you didn’t know any better, you might look at Owens’ 2015 stat line and conclude that he’s a fringe prospect.
Owens’ 2015 numbers may not be much to look at, but he performed 04 Aug 2015 14:00:40 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/henry_owens_to_debut_in_boston/s1_8637_19288324

Iraq, looking for its first title since the war-torn country won the 2007 Asian Cup, stuck first in the 35th minute when Mohanad Abdulraheem took a pass in the area and scored from close range in the United Arab Emirates.
But just when Iraq was preparing to celebrate, South Korea made it 1-1 in injury time through striker Moon Chang-jin, who netted his fourth goal of the tournament.
Neither side could find a winner in extra time, and South Korea won the penalty shootout 4-1. Sim Sang-min, Woo Ju-sung, Kim Sun-woo and Ryu Seung-woo all converted their spot kicks while only Ahmed Abbas scored for Iraq.17 Nov 2012 14:41:53 -0500http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/south_korea_beats_iraq_for_under_19_crown/s1_8866_12236260
